MSVC to Rational Apex DLL

MSVC to Rational Apex DLL

[John]

After hours of digging through every reference I could find to calling
an Ada DLL from C (including David Botton's GNAT example), I'm still
not there.  I end up with an access violation in VADS_KRN.DLL - my
guess is that it's an elaboration problem....???

Does anyone have an example of MSVC (v6) calling an Apex (v2.0.2) DLL?
 Or the Apex equivalent to the GNAT adainit() sample?

Surely this is something that Rational can help you sort out?
As you point out, it can certainly be done in GNAT, and it would
seem surprising if it cannot be done with other compilers. Usually
the vendor should be the best source of help with compiler specific
problems of this nature.
